Tho f,lI,u.;,,v oxnit;nry arrnnnt of
the capture of large bear near Zion
we take from Mondays Daily NetrS:
On Saturday at noon Mr., Benjamin
Gentzel, of Zion, had most thrilling
adventure with bear, which terminated
in Il victory for Mr.. GentZel aud the
death of Bruin. Mr.. Gentzel's home is
in Nittany Valley beyond Nye Bank
Just on the path leading from Nittany
TO Muncy mountains. On saturday "A
bear started cut To make this trip, TAX
ing IA near cut through corn field
which IS in gun-shOt distance from Mr..
G's home.
Mr.. Gentzel was III the field at the
time and had his gun with him, though
likely he was not expecting such big
game. As soon as the bear was near
enough. Mr.. GentZel took aim and rap
idly sent two or three loads OF buckshot
into his bearship's hide. The animal
stopped, looked around and when he
saw who had given hlm such n warm
and unpleasant reception went for Mr..
GentZel in lively style. Had he caught
him Mr.. GentZel would have been hugged
more energetically than ever before.
Mr.. q. sprang quickly behind IA huge
stack of corn stalks and yelled for help
rs he knew friends were not far off.
Meanwhile, he tried TO disable the bear
by giving him another taste of the con-
tents of the gun. Among those who
put in an appearance and attracted the
attention of the bear. which was angry
and suffering pain, MAS IIcnfy 1elltHei,
brother of the first mentioned. Bruln
run at Henry and took one of his legs
in his powerful jaws, and might have
crushed it had not Benjamin struck the
animal a powerful blow on the back
with the butt of the gun, breaking the
| bears back and also damaging the gun.
The bear is monster. The gun was
| taken To Mr.. Deschner's gun shop for
repairs. We congratulate the Messrs.
Gentzel on their bold battle with the
bear and its fortunate outcome. with
the exception of the marks of the ami
mails teeth left in Henry's leg, neither
of the brothers was injured.
MILLHEIM's FIRE LAST SATURDAY.
Afternoon at about half past twelve
O'Clock last Saturday our people were
attracted from their homes and places
of business by the columns OF dense
black smoke which rolled up TO the
| skies from Elias Luse Il Sons planing
mill, east of the Evangelical'church on
Penn street and which indicated large
and destructive fire. 1t is supposed that
the fire had originated from hot stove
pipe which rested on beam in the
ceiling. When it was first discovered
by +. ID. Lose and some nelghbors q
few little flames licked through the
roof and they attempted to check their
progress with the water contained in a
barrel which had been kept on the roof
for such an emergency. In several for
mer Instances serious conhagration
had been prevented by meaEs Of these
barrels but on this occasion the fire had
too much headway and there was not
enough water to extlnguish the flames.
In but few minutes the old and dry
shingle roof was one mass of Ere, which
defied all efforts at saving any part OF
the large frame building. The fire
company, assisted by several of the cit
izens turned their attention to the ma
chinery, the undertakers' goods, and
finished work, such as doors, sashcs,
&C., on the first and second floor, and
succeeded in getting most of it out OF
the building before the flames envelop-
